Sister Jean, as she is known, is the official chaplain for the men’s basketball team, though she has long been the face of the Loyola Ramblers.

Sister Jean has worked for the university for decades. She originally was an employee of Mundelein College, where she started in 1961, and began working for Loyola when the two schools merged in 1991., she had planned to retire in 1994 but was called on by the school to help"student athletes keep up their grades so they could maintain their eligibility to play."
